Describe how you plan to assess student learning and why you're taking this approach.
I began to assess my student in two major ways and that is by having them share the work they do with the class and also by having a small quiz. During the second week of teaching I had my students take a small quiz to see if they knew the vocabulary words that they were required to know. I feel though that the most effective way of assessing my students is to have them share the work they do. I work in an inclusive classroom with a special education teacher and she has shown me many different ways to effectively do this and not allow students to zone out and not pay attention. By students sharing in groups what they came up with and then going group to group asking them to give a new point, answer, or idea forces the students to pay attention to what they all have to say. It's great informal assessment.
Describe how you're choosing to grade your students' performance and why.
I have decided to use mainly checklists or rubrics to grade things they do in class and for homework. I'm not really sure how much things are going to count yet.
